Start-up with Click one of these toggle buttons to determine how a project should be initiated each time PU32-1 and PU32 SHEET PILING is started. Since an undrained condition may be expected to occur under "fast" loading in the field, it represents a "short-term" condition; in time, drainage will occur, and the drained strength will govern (the "long-term" condition). Concrete piles are precast and often prestressed, with a JSP3 wall thickness of 6 to 12 inches and widths of 30 to 48 inches. No project: Use the buttons in the toolbar or the options in the File menu to open an existing project or to start a new one.The joints may be tongue-and-groove or grouted(USACE 1994c).

To model these conditions in the laboratory, three sheet pile types of tests are generally used; unconsolidated undrained (Q or UU), consolidated undrained (R or CU), and consolidated drained (S or CD). Last used project: The last project to be worked on is opened automatically. Note that the Start-up with option is ignored when L4S SHEET PILING is started by double-clicking on an input file. New project: A new project is created comprising a sheet pile wall with a "dummy" soil layer on both sides. Undrained shear strength in the laboratory is determined from either Q or R tests and drained shear strength is established from S tests or from consolidated undrained tests with pore pressure measurements ( R).

Save on calculation The toggle buttons determine how input data is saved prior to calculation. L3S piles may be either independent sheets or tongue-and-groove interlocking sheets(USACE 1994c). Use Enter key to Use the toggle buttons to determine the way the Enter key is used in PU32+1 SHEET PILING: Wood piles are used on short wall heights and often anchored with wood wall and vertical wood piles.

The undrained shear strength of a L3S normally consolidated clay is usually expressed by only a cohesion intercept; and it is labeled cu to indicate that φ was taken as zero.All wood components should be treated to reduce rot or damage due to wood-destroying insects or water borers. It can either be saved automatically, using the same file name each time, or a PU 32+1 file name can be specified every time the data is saved. decreases dramatically with water content; therefore, in design it is common to consider the fully saturated condition even if a clay is partly saturated in the field. Typical undrained shear strength values are presented in Table 3-4. Su increases with depth (or effective stress) and this is commonly expressed with the ratio "Su/p" (p denotes the effective vertical stress). either as an equivalent of pressing the default button (Windows style) or to shift the focus to the next item in a window (for users accustomed to the DOS version(s) of the program). Vinyl sheet pile is available in sections of similar shape to PU 32 steel sheet pile. This ratio correlates roughly with plasticity index and overconsolidation ratio. Steel sheet piles have lower strength and modulus of elasticity than steel and is, therefore, limited to lower wall heights or anchored walls.

To use the Feasibility L4S module, the user has to enter an identification name under User ID and a Password. The undrained shear strength of many PU 32-1 overconsolidated soils is further complicated due to the presence of fissures; this leads to a lower field strength than tests on small laboratory samples indicate. Both will be provided by Deltares Systems only for users with a license including the use of the Feasibility module. JSP3 sheet pile may be manufactured by monoextrusion of all virgin material or coextrusion of recycled material, coextruded with a virgin material coating to provide resistance to ultraviolet light.Please contact the support team.
